The rising tide of marine industries

Early this year Zhanjiang became one of eight coastal cities in China to be an experimental site for high-tech marine industries.

The initiative calls for the city to focus on breeding seafood and healthy farming by creating demonstration industrial zones and parks.

With 2,023 kilometers of coastline and 20,000 square kilometers of sea within its boundaries, Zhanjiang is the largest demonstrative city for the marine economy in Guangdong province.
